I have a Yanmar YM1500. Ordered new brakes and seals to deal with the oil leaking into the brake drums, now I'm ready to tackle the clutch issue.

The clutch doesn't fully disengage. I adjusted the pedal and there is still more adjustment to go, but when I push the clutch in it just keeps kissing the flywheel so getting into gear can grind unless I just jam it in quickly. If the transmission is in first gear and the clutch is in, when I take my foot off the brake the tractor wants to inch forward.

The tractor show 297 hours which I believe. It has been garage kept all its life - you can still read the factor paper stickers on the loader cylinders and the tractor is in immaculate condition.

Am I looking at replacing the clutch? Is there a quick check or a trick that doesn't require splitting the tractor? I'm not 100% familiar with these so I'm asking for help from people who are smarter and/or at least more experienced than me.

You should have appx 9/16 to 5/8" free play at top of pedal. Is that what you have?

That is what I have. The pedal barely moves before resistance.

On the YM1500 You have besides the clutch shaft bearings, bushings on the Main Drive Shaft. 2 Clutch lever Bushings on a Clutch Pedal shaft that goes through the Trans. just behind the Bell housing.
The Main Drive shaft. RED Ym1500 Only uses the Main drive shaft TS-213. And CB-4190 Clutch lever Bushings I was referring to.
Make sure your pedal is moving correctly and not a problem. If it is Clutch is most likely stuck. My ford 2000 the clutch was stuck to the pressure plate. Actually a 2 stage so 2 disks on it. That had to go to the Equipment repair shop!!
